I wonder if semantic search can be leveraged to achieve the same.  It
might open other possibilities: searching only links, list items, source
blocks, ...  I think you get the point.  :-p

In the past I have had trouble using semantic search even in traditional
source code buffers, e.g. C/C++, Python, lisp, etc, but that was a long
time back.  Did any one else have better luck?

I also have no clue how well the semantic support is for Org buffers.
If I start speedbar, the first few levels of headlines are recognised
automatically; maybe it is not a pipe dream to extend this to other org
syntax elements?

Food for thought,

;)
